Piano found on Ben Nevis
The JMT this week released info that they had found the remains of a piano under a cairn on top of Ben Nevis, Scotland's highest mountain during a big clean up of the top. It had clearly been there for some time. Man with strength of 10 claims responsibility.

Update: turns out it was a bunch of Removal men from Dundee who pushed it up there in 1986 for charity. The Ben detectives deduced this from a McVities wrapper found in the cairn. I wonder if they would have got more if they'd pushed it back down again?


Comments:

What a romantic notion: Hearing, playing or singing to piano music in the wilderness. It's a shame they left such a mess behind!

Enjoy perusing your blog. Thanks!

It's a little more romantic than me serenading the sheep with my guitar when I'm camping.

Glad you enjoyed the blog, thanks for reading
